NEW Android App - Finally

OK, I'm loving the new Android app, got a change to try it out this morning on my 10 mile bike ride, no more drop-outs & buffering up

However, I did noticed a few hiccups about 6 of them every 10 to 20 min. or maybe it's my T-mobile Galaxy S 4G network phone

so I'm not giving up my XMP3i just yet, but it's a start, I was somewhat impressed with the new app, however it still needs some work, and I think Ryan covered most of that early on in this thread..

I went from NJ to Pittsburgh and back (678 miles) and hand 5 dropouts on my Xoom un-rooted 4g tablet! Six tunnels, 5 dropouts! Going into the tunnels and reconnected itself once I came out of the tunnels(2 miles down the road) and one where as soon I as I was out of the tunnel the music played as soon as I came out the other end! Of all the spots where I would lose a signal on my DroidX, I kept a signal with the new App! So far I'm liking this!

Android app updated today. Since SiriusXM doesn't believe in change logs, I have no idea what was fixed/added.

I got a question does it go back and forth with the audio quality ? how does it work?


and does it reconnect automatically how does this work?


i think im going to go the internet route shortly since nba is over and i can get mlb online and i really only listen to music anyway and it sounds like all the hicupps are fixed for the most part.

have been using it here in the tuscon area works great with no buffering yet .

will be driving up to flagstaff monday that will take me thru mountains and bad reception spots in Arizona Im taking the backway so no interstates which means crappy service. will see how it works when I get there.

New subscriber for about a month and I'm really enjoying this android app. Anyone else wish there was a sleep timer in the settings? Would be nice if we could reorder the favorites list, too.

well updating my first trip with the app this past week and as i figured it did well in the city and major highways but in the rural part of eastern arizona it suffered a meltdown did not re connect when signal loss was near 1 bar or zero bars.

other issue i had was it would connect and buffer and then play over and over until i stopped it manually . very annoying. this app should have a user buffer option for places like this .

one other issue was the 5 hour rewind feature when losing the signal you lose your spot on the rewind feature and have to start the show all over . it kept losing the spot kind of makes it pointless if it cant save the location.

worked fine in to town and on the interstates coming back on the I-40 in az and ca, as well as I-15 in ca.
